    Default Went into Preterm Labor yesterday

    I went into labor yesterday at 21 weeks along!

    The shot that they give you to stop contractions is crazy. I've never felt like that in my entire life. It feels like you just drank 12 pots of coffee. You're shaking, but only inside, you can't tell you're shaking just by looking at you. Anyways, it was absolutely intense.

    Luckily, she decided to just stay put for a while longer...it's just how long she's going to stay in there, no one knows.

    I have had two girls and never had a labor pain. Both were extremely premature. (DD 15 was 2lbs. 11 oz. and DD10 was 1 lb 15 oz. ) I guess what I am trying to say is hang on, but if the worst happens, you can still have a happy outcome. Positive thoughts and bed rest are essential!

    Lots of prayers coming your way from Indiana!

    I hope she stays put like she's supposed to!

    I can relate.... I went into preterm labor numerous times with both of my kids, and both were eventually born prematurely. I've had every drug they had, I think. I remember some weird side effects, but hey, whatever works, right?
